The swipe strip on cards is archaic and a security hazard. We shouldn't be doing anything to support it.

No its not as my phone needs authorization from my finger print every time before emitting magnetic waves. Its a hazard only in USA and its ilks where payments can be made even without entering a pin number or any other kind of authorization just by swiping the card. No wonder there are so many credit card frauds in USA.
So u should probably couple it with a pin instead of launching contactless cards.
